This was such a great meeting! 🗽 It was a privilege to attend the INSYNC-AS meeting representing the Loulou Foundation (#CDKL5) and to meet @cureangelman and @curestxbp1 and @RSRT and @FamilieSCN2A and so many experts from academia, industry and the regulatory world. Thank you @cureangelman and @SFARIorg for hosting us! I have 19 pages of notes and a brain full of ideas 💚💙💜

“Mommy can I tell you something? I’m scared.” I always tell her it’s ok to be scared. It’s ok to cry. We flew into Atlanta to go to her drug trial clinic, hopefully for the last time if FDA approves govorestat. What we thought we be six months turned into years. It’s way too much for a little one. It started at 3yo she’s almost 7. Pediatric drug trials are cruel but without it she would have no treatment. This is rare disease. #raredisease #galactosemia
